888

What's behind the scenes of 888???

October    
The eighth month in the old Roman calendar ,it retained its name  (from the Latin "octo" meaning "eight"). However, in the Julian and Gregorian Calendar its the tenth month of the year. 
  
8 as a lucky number

  • Eight (八; accounting 捌; pinyin ) is considered a lucky number in Chinese culture because it sounds like the word meaning to generate wealth (發(T) 发(S); Pinyin: ). Property with the number 8 may be valued greatly by Chinese. 
  • Eight ( hachi, ya?) is also considered a lucky number in Japanese culture, but the reason is different from that in Chinese culture. Eight gives an idea of growing prosperous, because the letter (八) broadens gradually.
  • In numerology, 8 is the number of building, and in some theories, also the number of destruction.

Well these information are just some of the descriptions of my favorite number 8.   It's my favorite since I'm born in October 8. Since then it became my lucky number.For me 8 represents a chain which is used to connect any kind of connections, it can be relationships between family, friends, relatives, sweethearts, couples and etc. With  this point of view,  I could say its the most meaningful number.
